Hi guys

Received and offer in Bahrain for a flight dispatcher job. I have ICAO/EASA license with 12years of experience. Got offered 2800 BD + 2 trips with return to home. More perks to be confirmed. Could you let me know if this would be good?

I tend not to live with big luxuries, although my 3 passions, sports, piloting aircrafts and motorbikes, are a bit expensive
Thanks

Hello,
I must say its good enough to live a luxurious life in Bahrain . There are few links which should give you an idea about the cost of living and i dont have much idea about how much you would be spending on the passions you mentioned, if anyone does i am sure they will reply back.

If you are a single guy, then it's a good salary. With school going kids in international schools, it would be comfortable.
